This was the very first song of Ani's that I heard. My male English teacher, who came to mean a lot to me but died way too young, played it to me and told me that it had an important message. So I appreciated very much to hear this from a you as a man. But believe me when I say that i appreciated it for much more than the novelty of it being sung by a man. Your guitar work was flawless and your singing and frasing was immaculate.
Thank you for putting this out here and sharing it with us!
man, this is just absolutely beautiful. I don't generally like covers, but man, keep rockin it. i created this account just to tell you so. I've been listening to ani since i was 8 years old, and u more than live up to any expectation i could have had.
This really pulls at my heart strings. An amazing cover, you have a beautiful voice. I have showed this to so many of my friends, and they all just love it.
i dunno what is more beautiful : a woman or a man singing this... we all have living similar situations!!! man, thank u for this perfect version of this pretty song. kisses.
i wanted you to know this is going out on my facebook page for someone i love who is naieve about being with an abuser. Hope your telepathy worked. Wish me some luck...
i've never seen spmepne as [assionate as you are. Who are you singing this song to??? I wish it were me.... my best friend played this song for me and it made m melt...but I never heard a ,man feel so passionatley about anything as you do about this song....it must be someone you love...could youshare your love/ heartache??? I'm inthralled by you....let's talk....
this was reallllly touching.. i absolutely LOVE ani difranco ... and i almost cried watching you.. i thought it was kinda ridiculous at first how you strummed your guitar so hard.. but then i could tell you meant it... kudos to you
amaaaaaaaaaazing..this is coming from a huge ani fan..i saw her a few months ago in minneapolis about 7 rows back from the stage..it was like my 3rd ani show. you are great at playing guitar and your voice is hella nice man..keep up the good work.
You played this really well. You play everything that way. I just don't like the way the whole dynamic of the song changes when it's sung by a man. Responses like LaurenHoeben's are why.
@Halfadrop Men and women can be friends, some of us aren't so blind to the social construct of gender dichotomy to allow the song's meaning to be totally fucked up by the fact you're a dude. It's perfect as-is, no worries; well done. :)
Oh my god! This is sincerely one of my favorite songs of all time and you rocked it! I would just sit and listen to this little known song over and over and cry wishing I could sing it and do it justice. Thanks for doing it for me. Rock on!
you really have an amazing talent I really think that you have the whole package. The look defently the VOICE!
Briliant. Just be leary of the mass of public glam and money... (trash) however from the songs you sing it sounds as though you are just doing what you love and its not about all the other stuff. Thanks for putting your self out there for evry one to see. Its nice to see real talent not modified my computer altercations. Bravo
Halfadrop, been reading your comments...what a beautiful way to look at life. Yes, you are full of light, emotion...i know this was a detication of sorts, but if you put that much in to all your music, no doubt you'll be a force to be reckoned with! i love the fact that you love this song, what a heart you must have...
wow. woweee wowie wow wow. i've watched all your vids (subscribed) and they're never a let down. do you really look like a young bruce or is it just me? or maybe the black and white.... i have a request...."half-assed" or "millennium theater" by Ani. or anything really...but those two are sure nice. how are your tendons?
listen, your guitar playing is very useful - for those of us who are *ahem* less talented with music, we very much enjoy hearing really good covers of our fave songs... I would love to hear any of your versions of Dillon because, oh how I love his music and, oh how i can't stand his voice. He always sounds like he's getting a rectal exam from a proctologist with really big hands. Brian Ferry just did a little tribute to Dillon - I'm still trying to figure out if I like it or not.
Thank you, Amybrookeloves. Still, I can't shake off the feeling that it's the song itself which is amazing. I'm just trying not to brake it. But thanks.
You are so full of emotion, really into the songs when you are singing - I love it! Thanks to Chelce from Molten Java Coffee Shop in Bethel, CT for doing a cover of YOUR cover of The way You Make Me Feel and telling us all to check you out!
Great song here, and I said before, you do covers better then the original artist, so yea!, they will choose yours over the original to reproduce for sure, that happens with alot of songs, think of the Dylans "All along the watch tower", that hendrix did, now all play it like hendrix, happens alot, you got the gift bro... Peace, Doug
Man, I can't stop watching your videos. I haven't found any that I don't like. Great Job !!!
